	*Members of Blaster's team are depicted with Earth alternate modes (right) but how and when did they acquire them? Unlike modern media, Transformers in these ~~classics~~ stories do not possess the ability to [[scanning\|scan and adopt]] new modes on their own, requiring external mechanisms and resources to do so. They hadn't adopted Earth modes prior to their departure from Cybertron, and were captured by RAAT immediately after their arrival on Earth, so the only time it could have been accomplished was when Circuit Breaker had their bodies reassembled at the end of issue #95, but it seems highly unlikely she would have rebuilt them with new disguises.		*Members of Blaster's team are depicted with Earth alternate modes (right) but how and when did they acquire them?

	*At the end of Part 1, Blaster is meant to be blasting Galvatron with "high-frequency sonics," an ability that's built into his body, but the art shows him zapping the Decepticon with his [[electro-scrambler]] gun instead. It's not clear if script or art was in error here, but Part 2 rectifies the mistake by depicting Blaster's renewed sonic attack as being generated by his alt-mode speakers.		*At the end of Part 1, Blaster is meant to be blasting Galvatron with "high-frequency sonics," an ability that's built into his body, but the art shows him zapping the Decepticon with his [[electro-scrambler]] gun instead.

	*According to Galvatron's flashback, the battle between him and Rodimus Prime that occurs at the end of the movie took place in Unicron's left leg.

	*This issue marks the beginning of Galvatron's steady descent into insanity, which also happened to the character in the animated series after the events of the film, albeit under different circumstances.

	While Galvatron is occupied fighting the Dinobots, Blaster unleashes an even more powerful sonic attack on him. The attack weakens Galvatron, and seems like it might be enough to finish him off, until the Decepticon summons enough strength to seize [[Grimlock (G1)\|Grimlock]]'s sword and hurl it at Blaster. [[Swoop (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity\|Swoop]] airlifts Blaster to safety at the last minute, and the pair watch from the sky as the Dinobots press the advantage, ganging up on the weakened Galvatron. The clash is observed from nearby by the Decepticons, and forces Shockwave to concludes that, given the obvious threat Galvatron poses to his leadership, they may need to help the Dinobots take him down.

	His rage and his insanity building, Galvatron regains his strength, pushes through the Dinobots' attacks, and take the group down one by one. Swoop is blasted and left on the brink of unconsciousness, but before passing out, he hears Professor Morris, exploiting the mental link he and Swoop once shared to speak directly into the Dinobot's mind, asking for his permission to take over Swoop's body again. Swoop consents, and Morris pilots his body in a renewed attack on Galvatron. The gesture seems destined to be a futile one... until the Decepticons come charging into action, and Galvatron, not wanting to destroy the warriors he hopes to soon command, opts to retreat. Content with this outcome, having bought himself time to plan for the future, Shockwave allows Galvatron to leave, and further concludes it would be illogical to waste resources attacking the Dinobots at this point. The two parties go their separate ways... but both are aware that it will not be long before Galvatron returns again!
